Nike steps away from the Air Jordan limited releases to give us a more easily accessible Oregon Ducks-themed sneaker in the Nike Lunar TR1. Sporting a bright yellow upper, this pair has been decorated with a black winged graphic, finished off with a white swoosh, with Oregon’s mascot proudly displayed on the tongue. Green eyelets hold the sneaker’s yellow laces in place. You’ll be able to get these on Nike.com on Wednesday, November 26 at 8:00 am EST. Retail price is set at $120.

Here’s a first look at the latest sneaker to get the Oregon Ducks treatment: The Air Jordan X. Wrapped in a bright green with deep black on the sole and lace areas, the usual Jumpman heel logo has been replaced with the University of Oregon mascot. Yellow accents on the outsole help to complete the school’s color palette. It’s unknown if we’ll actually see a public release on these, but stay tuned for more info.

Thanks to the folks at Sole-Up, we finally have a detailed look at Oregon Ducks-themed Air Jordan 5. Featuring a bright green suede upper with black and yellow accents finished off with Oregon graphics, this is one of the nicest PEs we’ve seen for the school so far. Is it possible that Jordan Brand will finally release an Oregon colorway to the public? That remains to be seen, but stay tuned for more information on this beautiful color scheme.

We’ve seen a number of Oregon-themed Air Jordan player exclusives, so it was just a matter of time before the Air Jordan 11 saw its turn at an Oregon do-over. Using the Lowtop version, the XIs have received a white leather and mesh based, wrapped with dark green patent leather. Black lining provides comfort up top, while yellow graphics complete the theme. So far, not much information is available on this sneaker, but we’ll probably see more images of these in the near future.

Nike once again pays tribute to the Oregon Ducks with this hot Air Jordan 5 player exclusive. Created to match the team uniforms, this pair has been wrapped in beautiful green suede, matched with a black and yellow midsole. The Oregon “O” has been proudly embroidered onto the 3M reflective tongue, while a graphic of the mascot is placed at the heel. The usual icy clear netting and outsole remain intact. It’s unknown as to how many pairs were actually produced, but expect some difficulty if you intend to obtain a pair.

Here’s a detailed look at the home version of the “Oregon Ducks” Air Jordan 3 Retro. Created exclusively for active and former Oregon players, it appears that a few athletes are beginning to get their pairs. With such an exclusive sneaker, it’d be hard not to post them online for bragging rights, as you can see from the pics below. Still no word on how many of these were actually produced, but it’s obvious that they are quite limited.

A couple of weeks ago, we got a look at a pair of Oregon Ducks player exclusive Air Jordan IIIs, created by Jordan Brand to match the Ducks’ away uniforms. This time, we get a look at the home version, thanks to Oregon Duck-turned-Pittsburgh Steeler Dennis Dixon. This time, a white upper has been used, complemented with black accents and the traditional elephant print. Just like the away pair, this colorway features a large “O” on the tongue, used in place of the usual Jumpman. Unfortunately, this is the only angle, but it’s probably safe to say that the duck feet have been placed on the heel of this one as well.

With so many college-exclusive Nike and Jordan colorways, it only makes sense for Jordan Brand to give tribute to the company’s roots, the University of Oregon. Check out this beautiful pair of Oregon Ducks-themed Air Jordan III player exclusives. Starting with the Black/Cement IIIs as a base, this pair has received a huge Oregon “O” on the tongue ,in place of the usual Jumpman. On the back, you’ll find that the Jumpman has been replaced as well, this time with two duck feet. Also, the eyelets have been done in yellow, and a brand has been stitched on the side of the shoe. Truly a very unique sneaker, but unfortunately don’t expect to see these in stores. From Do It Donald.

A couple of months ago, we got an up-close look at the Oregon Ducks Air Jordan IX player exclusives, a beautiful all-black model done completely in nubuck suede. Here is yet another pair of the Oregon PEs, this time in much better clarity. This pair was recently listed on eBay by user Zach13g, but unfortunately the auction was ended early. Hopefully, there’ll be another chance to purchase these beauties.

Here’s a pair of IXs I bet a lot of you guys have never seen before. These were created exclusively for University of Oregon players to wear in the 2011 BCS Championship game. Featuring a completely blacked out upper, these sneakers have been mostly done in nubuck suede, with the exception of the mesh tongue. The midsole has been painted glossy black, and the silver eyelets have been used to match the graphics. These are incredibly rare, but surprisingly, there are three pairs floating on ebay. Here’s a link to the listings.
